#1 Blue background prints on one side and white on white, (WOW) on the other. AND #2 Green background on one side and white on white, (WOW) on the other
(Hold on to the Black and White hst's that swap will be coming up near the end of summer)
100% cotton, washed, ironed...
You can have any blue or green background material with any kind of smaller print on it.
1/8 yard should give you 4 – 5” blocks ¼ yard should give you 8 – 5” squares FQ should give you 12 – 5” squares ½ yard should get you about 24 and 1 yard should get you about 56, of course, these numbers depend on width of fabric. These are all approximate numbers.
Blocks: Block size 4 ½ to 4 3/4. Prefer the larger. If you are using a 5 x 5 nickel for this swap, which I first intended for this swap, it works out just dandy. Check your measurements on the first block you sew and see if you have to reset your needle position. If you send in a 5 x 5 because you have larger blocks to start, that’s okay. Better larger than smaller. Draw a diagonal line on the light fabric and sew a scant ¼ inch on each side of the line. Draw all three lines for precision sewing if you wish. Again, remember to check your first sewn block for size and adjust your needle position if need be. Cut and press open to the dark side. Trim your ears!!!
Sets: One set = 6 HST’s Please keep all alike to the same set. Limit of one set of the same material. One less set - than the number of swappers (This may change pending on how many sign up so keep an eye on the swap.)
Packaging: Each bag sent in must contain a card with your name, address and HGTV name and mine on the other with your blocks labeled.
Mailing: Mail in a sturdy mailer. Tape closed if necessary. Include a self mailer with STAMPS to equal the postage amount it takes to send to me plus one extra 41 cent stamp loose in a separate bag, incase it’s needed for the return trip. Will send back if not needed.
PM me to get my mailing address and give me yours along with your telephone number. I would like to have an idea of how many sets you will be sending so I can plan a day or two to swap out and back to you in 7 – 10 days\
I hope this is fine for directions...all is on my computer...still at the shop.
If you have any questions, ask away, but it may be a bit before I can respond to them. I am at the library at least once a week.

Just to let you know I will be joining your Blue and Green swap. I will let you know how many of each color later. I'm sure that you will be happy to get your puter back home from the doc. I went through withdraws last summer when I didn't have internet for over a month when we were staying in Virgina. ( the RV park that we were in didn't have internet hook ups.)

This is my second time around with no computer...and I'm getting pretty antsie. The fella who is working on it, should be at my house some time soon with it...Am praying anyway. I will be so happy!!!
And all the e-mail to catch up on will be my real corker. Work that needs to be caught up on...newsletter, flyers....yikes!
hidngat39, Patch said, she didn`t have many sign up for the B and W, so she was going to hold off on that swap until later. If you already sent, I am sure she will hold yours until then. Tammy
Ooooh man, I just _ate not having my computer.... But I'm not pushing the matter, I have been in the fellas shoes and know what it's like so I patiently await the return of my baby...
June 15th is the due date for the blue and green swap.
Sorry to get you confused with the B & W swap. Thought I had touched base with all regarding the due date for that one.
Life is not the same without a computer when you have relied on it for so many things...like a job, fun, quilt inspiration, YOU ALL!
Still doing what I can while I can with the swaps. The B & W i suppose had better be traded before the all out last swap dohn't cha think? So maybe we can squeeze a purple in there with the B & W. I won't do that until after labor day, so that is the tentative date for that swap then, will come the final White and White on White swap. Geesh, had IA ever thought about a black with any print all out swap? I'm getting myself in deepr and deeper here...HELP!!
I have my nickels ready to go for the swap but to be honest, I don't know when I'll have time to sew...
Well hubby says it's time to head back home, he's got his chores done here at mom's...
New to this type of swap....are these from washed or unwashed fabric? Do you have set swaps each month? (I saw the message on the B & W changed to summer)
The B & W or 30's repros would be ones I would be very interested in if you plan on doing those in the future. Send me a PM when you decide and I will join the group...thanks!

Patch, I'll check my stash of nickels tonight and let you know, I might do some of these. I made a flying geese top Friday night that these would work great for another one.
